Lyrics: Anon, probably the composer
When shall my wretched life give place to death,
That my sad cares may be enforced to leave me?
Come saddest shadow, stop my vital breath,
For I am thine; then let not care bereave thee
Of thy sad thrall, but with thy fatal dart
Kill care and me, while care lies at my heart.
When shall my wretched life give place to death,
That my sad cares may be enforced to leave me?
Come saddest shadow, stop my vital breath,
For I am thine; then let not care bereave thee
Of thy sad thrall, but with thy fatal dart
Kill care and me, while care lies at my heart.
